Championship leaders Leicester can show they are ready to return to the top of English football by turning on the style at the start of a huge league and cup week.The Foxes entertain other automatic promotion contenders in Ipswich in what promises to be an entertaining battle at the King Power Stadium.Despite going head-to-head in the clash between Brighton and Wolves at the Amex Stadium, it claims top billing.Leicester lost for the first time in 12 games last weekend when they beat Coventry 3-1, allowing the Tractor Boys to close the gap as they ended an unbeaten run of four draws and defeats with victory at Sunderland. 2. -1 on Portman Road..
Manager Kieran McKenna has done a splendid job with the Suffolk club after gaining promotion from League One last season and Conor Chaplin is a threat to any defence at this level after scoring nine goals this term
But Ipswich need to return home with at least a point after dropping to third on goal difference after Southampton beat Swansea on Saturday and the Foxes must be fancied after winning 11 of 13 home games this season while scoring 27 and conceding just seven.Leicester are big at 10/11 with Betway and Betfred and Stephy Mavididi, who has scored six of his nine goals this season in his last eight appearances, is 6/1 with Sky Bet to break the deadlock and 21/10 with Betfair and Paddy Power to hit the net at any time.
A big win at the seaside could see Wolves move above Brighton into eighth, just a point behind Manchester United, but the Seagulls will be delighted by a win that moves them above West Ham, who are currently in sixth.Wolves have a good name after three league wins in a row but will struggle to keep clean sheets at Molineux with top scorer Hwang Hee-Chan on international duty with South Korea and a big FA Cup fourth-round derby at West Brom. On Sunday, they can lose to the hosts..
